I just read a post where one was congratulating someone who had stayed married for 9 years. It was great they said to stay married for that long. It sure amused me. Why should anyone think that it is a feat to stay married for 9 years?
Marriage is supposed to be a permanent affair – until death does one part. And yet in today’s world parting is considered quite normal. The repercussions of getting out of marriage at the drop of a hat are several. A broken marriage not only affects those who have gone for it the children are the victims. It is not a happy scene even for those around. .
Marriage is for keeps – for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. When one pronounces these vows what makes them give up?
If Hollywood celebrity couples such as Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara could stay happily married since the day they said “I do ” in 1954 there is no reason why it should be difficult to stay married – until death decides a couple to set them apart.

No marriage is ready made. It has to be built from the day those vows are pronounced
Having said that there are many successful and happy marriages who have waded through difficult waters and have even reached 60 years of staying married. A couple around here just celebrated their 60 years although one of them was on a wheel chair. It is the determination that gets one there. Marriage is not a bed of roses but roses that have thorns. Surviving those thorns is the secret to bond together.
Broken marriages are more seen with those who claim to have been in love before taking that step. Little do they realise that there is a huge difference between the before and after marriage situations.

Adjustment is very critical in making healthy marriage relationship stable for a long time. Adjustment is acceptance and acceptance is commitment to be diligent in this peculiar relationship which is above every other relationship you had with any one else whiles you exist on this planet earth.
No matter how many years a couple knows each other before marriage it is only after marriage that they start buildking their relationship.
Stiller and Meara are the exception. I actually remember when I was growing up that celebrities were the only ones who got divorced. "Normal" or "ordinary" folks didn't do that. They stayed together until one of them died! The vows taken were a sacred oath to love another for better or for worse, in sickness and in health ... they were not casual empty vain words. The people uttering them before God meant what they said. But not any more!
There are more successful celebrity marriages which you will find in that link I have uploaded Broken marriages of ordinary people were never published in those days nor their successful marriages but today everything is exposed.
I am not sure with word adjustment. A couple should be adjusted to differences and similarities during the stage of knowing each other. It wasn't perfect relationship but they were able to know the strengths or weaknesses along the pre-stage of marriage. The sad thing, if they experienced the difficult times on the marriage period, they claimed that it is not working out and divorce is the option for them.
